Quick Jumper Setting Reference
JP1: Clear CMOS jumper
Use this jumper to clear the contents of the CMOS memory. You
may need to clear the CMOS memory if the settings in the BIOS
Setup Utility are incorrect and are preventing your mainboard
from operating. To clear the CMOS memory, disconnect all the
power cables from the mainboard and then move the jumper cap
into the Clear CMOS memory setting for a few seconds. CMOS
is cleared.
Return the jumper cap to the Normal operation setting. Recon-
nect the power cables and start the system. When the POST
starts, press the delete key to start the BIOS Setup Utility and
reload BIOS optimal settings. Refer to Chapter 3 for information
on BIOS.
Function
Normal operation
Clear CMOS
Note: Before clearing the BIOS, ensure that AC power is not con-
nected.
JP6: CPU frequency select jumper
This jumper enables you to force the CPU to clock at a higher fre-
quency than it is rated. Short pins 2 and 3 to force the CPU to run
at a 100 MHz FSB instead of a 66 MHz FSB. We recommend that
you leave the jumper on the normal operation setting.
Function
Normal
Force 66 MHz FSB to
run at 100 MHz FSB.
